Vendée & Charente-Maritime


An excellent area for cross-curricular activities - geographical studies of the working salt marshes, and 'bocage' farmlands or punt rides along the canals and channels of the Marais Poitevin, can be combined with a visit to Puy du Fou historical park hosting Roman chariot races and medieval jousting.


La Rochelle, famous for its medieval arcades and cobbled alleys, is a wonderful town to explore, and the offshore islands of Noirmoutier and Ile d'Aix provide insights into the region’s oyster parks and tranquil way of life. In nearby Vienne, Futuroscope, the European Park of the Moving Image, is both fun and educational.
